How long before a 2nd gen repair manual?

[waiting tundra]

When yall thank hayne's or chilton willl come out with a 2nd gen tundra repair manual. IMHO they do come in handy, even with this web site.

dunno....but u can probally get a toyota version for 10x the price.

It took haynes almost 5 model years to put one out for the 2nd gen tacomas. So be prepared to wait.

I might buy a Haynes manual but only on sale. Too much of it claims the repair is "beyond the scope of this manual" and should be referred to a qualified mechanic.

Chilton > Haynes.

the sad part is alot of vehicles thats true nowadays with as much computer crap as we have....i fear theres not too much more of the "insert a paperclip into the OBD port in such and such slots and watch the check engine light flash and count the flashes and sequences" stuff like we used to do.... most of those books are gonna have to come with a scan tool also to tell us what sensor is causing the "vehicle is broke" light....

Point taken, but don't worry, the aftermarket always catches up. Remember when EFI first appeared in the 80s....

Or even better yet, when they start stocking a DVD in the back of the manual.... which contains a copy of the manual plus some OBD software and a dongle..

Now that'll be the days when everyone reverse engineered stuff by backprobing! :P
